Abstract (en)

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head (300) to discharge liquid to a medium (101) to form liquid surface on the medium (101), an irradiator (400) to radiate active energy rays onto the liquid surface, a carriage (200) mounting the liquid discharge head (300) and the irradiator (400), a scanner (206) to scan the carriage in a main scanning direction, a height adjuster (207) to adjust an irradiation distance between the irradiator (400) and the liquid surface by relatively moving the carriage (200) and the medium (101), a conveyor (100) to move the medium (101) and the carriage (200) relatively in a sub-scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction, and control circuitry to control the irradiator (400) to irradiate the liquid surface with the active energy rays while scanning the carriage (200) in the main scanning direction.
